Extract

To my knowledge Atlides halesus has not been reported previously as occuring farther north than about thirty-eight degrees N. latitude (southern Illinois), so I believe its presence in north-western Oregon is worth recurding. McMinnville, the location at which I took the examples, is more than seven degrees farther north than points of previous capture. Comstock (Butterflies of Cal., 1927) mentions that this insect is not common in California but that it is recorded from many parts of that state.
